Proven Faith

Have you ever needed a pep talk when you found yourself struggling? From a friend, a coach, a boss? That is what the Apostle Peter was doing in his letter to the early Christians. From 1 Peter 1:6-9 (NIV), 1. Rejoice in spite of life’s realities. (v.6) 2. Proven faith brings praise to God. (v.7) 3. Love + “Believe In” = Faith (v.8) “Believe In” = Trust 4. End result of faith journey is salvation. (v.9) We are in trouble if our faith is dependent on us. Thankfully our faith is in the source of our faith, that being Jesus Christ. Application: Where are you with Jesus? Curious? Ask questions and learn more. Ready? Consider baptism. Committed? How can you trust more?
